rox Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Hi all,I'm fairley new to this site and starlet ownership but have been into jap cars for a fair few years etc now so know a few bits about whats what etc. i am thinkinbg of starting to make some carbo0n goodies for our starlets starting with a carbon strut brace i think i am in talks with a company local to me about getting some designs drawn up etc for me and i am wanting to branch of this into further parts so my question to you all is what would you like for the starlet to be available in a carbon replacement?obvioulsy there are a few parts around bonnets reversed scoops splitters etc just thinking is there anything that isnt available and you think would be great in carbon or parts that you would like to be able to get from this country(rather that imported parts on a 4 week wait) cheaper that companies already produce?so my the things i have in mind are1. Strut brace2. Bolt in section of the bonnet scoop(not a reversed one)3. Upper and mid rear spoilersall feedback will be greatThanks alotGaryRox Quote Link to post Share on other sites
ste91 Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Bonnet for N/A Starlets, possibly with some vents. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Asad Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 as far as im aware the the duck spoilers are avaliable in cf and the upper spoilers? aswell are the reverse how do you mean "bolt in section"?....it would intresting to see what you could come up with for the strut i have seen a rear cf one (recently sold by sparky) never seen a front 1. cf center consoles are avaliable not sure how much, cf for the clock surround? and the dials?I guess your main problem would be beating whats already out there by price and the quality of the cf laying, you got any pics/drawings?

Mikey Jay Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 Think carbon strut braces do already exist for Starlets too...? Quote Link to post Share on other sites
starlybruiser Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 An optional front lip in carbon for the early spec glanza bumper would be super amazing i would deffo buy one of them! think you could do one? cheers buddy. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BoostJunkie Posted December 24, 2008 Share Posted December 24, 2008 huh? front struts? even so.....if you can beat prices, quality you`ll be sorted bud.yeah agree with that, as you said with you doing this there is no long waiting period from japland (which is a bonus plus exchange rate charges being what they are not much is coming over).centre console surrounds as they are rare, go full hog complete carbon dash Quote Link to post Share on other sites
